Letter from Our Cincinnati Cor- ^,0VV„„„„, ,
Cii.-a.N-.N-ATl, April 26th, 1373.
To the Editors ofthe New National Era :
The last session ofthe present Legislature
of this State, memorable for the many important hills it ban acted upon and passed Is
rapidly drawing to a close.
Among these laws may be mentioned "The
Adair Liquor Law," which makes tbe venders la that sort of traffic responsible for the
evils resulting therefrom; "The Southern
Railroad Bill," enabling Cincinnati to issue
ten millions In bonds for tho construction of
a trunk line to the Gulf States, thus relicvle-
our rqerebants from the impnsiff™,,, p^cve,!
upon tbem by the managers ofthe Louisville
and Nashville Railroad In the ship
freight; "The Policy and Lotto,-,
which prevents the lleceing of a i
poor, wuoranl people fronT investing their
hard-earned dimes and dollars in the vain
hope of making a "lucky hit" that will permit tbem to live at ease thereafter, to which
there has since been attached an amendment
which will compel the faro, l:eno, and other
gamblers tn suspend operations ia this section and emigrate to a more congenial clime ;
•Mho .Metropolitan iVdtco Bill," and "The
School Bill," which codifies the school laws
of Ohio so that It is possible for a man of
average inlollect to comprehend them.
The most objectionable feature of this latter is that it takes from ns the management
of our schools, and yet does not make it imperative to provide "mined schools." The
Volksbtatt, a (icrman paper, says:

ils way would be pleased to hear some suggestions from you as to the course they should
pursue,
The present Legislature is entirely Democratic, except nine members in the House
and about fourteen in the Senate. Tlie last
Legislature was Republican. Jtwas the first
after the war—and was Republican be-
se tho Democrats let the election go by
default. The present Legislature was elected
last fall, and goes out January, 1874.
It sounds strange to say that It is well for
the helpless Republican party of this State
that the Democratic party had one more
chance of electing a party of its own choice
'.o the Legislature. Never were Democrats
noro disappointed In their chosen leader?.
The members of this Legislature in their
;agerncss were so unwise ns to pledge themselves that if electod to do not only tho impracticable, but the impossible. "They have
had the misfortune to make a record among
their constituents iu many features worsa
than that of the Radical Legislature, whose
acts they pledged themselves to repeal.
The men who were representing Democracy
in the present Legislature have dug their
graves. May they sleep sweetly! They did
mora lo destroy faith in Democracy and its
leaders than it is creditable to believe, " It
is nn ill wind that blows no one any good."
The Republican party will benefit largely by
their failure. They will be prominent "Independent candidates" at the next election,

Letter from Our Cincinnati Cor- ^,0VV„„„„, ,
Cii.-a.N-.N-ATl, April 26th, 1373.
To the Editors ofthe New National Era :
The last session ofthe present Legislature
of this State, memorable for the many important hills it ban acted upon and passed Is
rapidly drawing to a close.
Among these laws may be mentioned "The
Adair Liquor Law," which makes tbe venders la that sort of traffic responsible for the
evils resulting therefrom; "The Southern
Railroad Bill," enabling Cincinnati to issue
ten millions In bonds for tho construction of
a trunk line to the Gulf States, thus relicvle-
our rqerebants from the impnsiff™,,, p^cve,!
upon tbem by the managers ofthe Louisville
and Nashville Railroad In the ship
freight; "The Policy and Lotto,-,
which prevents the lleceing of a i
poor, wuoranl people fronT investing their
hard-earned dimes and dollars in the vain
hope of making a "lucky hit" that will permit tbem to live at ease thereafter, to which
there has since been attached an amendment
which will compel the faro, l:eno, and other
gamblers tn suspend operations ia this section and emigrate to a more congenial clime ;
•Mho .Metropolitan iVdtco Bill," and "The
School Bill," which codifies the school laws
of Ohio so that It is possible for a man of
average inlollect to comprehend them.
The most objectionable feature of this latter is that it takes from ns the management
of our schools, and yet does not make it imperative to provide "mined schools." The

to tbe community will be lucalculable. Pew
